[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone posted a link to quantify behavioral incidents at the different schools? Because that is useful information and it conserve as a proxy from any of the other things that OP is wondering about.[/quote]

I don't think that would be very helpful. You'd basically be quantifying a school's willingness to report the incidents, with no way to independently verify. What counts as a "serious incident" is kinda squishy. And the number of kids with serious behavior problems is pretty low, so the data set would be small and noisy.

It's also kinda the luck of the draw where behaviorally challenged kids enroll. My kids are at a HRCS and my DD has a pretty calm and well-behaved cohort, but the grade one year above consistently has concerning incidents. It's been that way for years, no matter which teachers the kids have thatt year.  And when we attended our IB, there was one kid with a serious behavior problem, we left in part to get away from him-- but guess who got the very next waitlist offer and came with us? [/quote]
